Will it see the desired success? (Score 2)

Regardless of the article's view of Sony's stock split as a 'risk,' it's gonna be interesting to see whether PS2 sees the success Sony is hoping for. Despite the fact it's laden with features, the thing is expensive. And while backward compatibility is a good thing, there's always that risk of people being content with what they already have. Will the kid who got Playstation this Christmas be ready to move on so soon? More appropriately, will his parents?)

I envision a slow start at best, although I intend to pick up mine first chance I get. :)
